with the following asset.rb model : has\_attachment :content\_type =\> :image, :storage =\> :file\_system, :processor =\> ‘Rmagick’, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/public/assets/’, :size =\> 0.kilobytes…100000.kilobytes, :max\_size =\> 10.megabytes, :resize\_to =\> ‘580x400\>’, :thumbnails =\> { :panorama\_cropped =\> ‘580x400!’, :panorama =\> ‘580x400\>’, :medium =\> ‘250x150\>’, :medium\_cropped =\> ‘250x150!’, :thumb =\> ‘75x60!’ } and rmagick’s attachment\_fu processor hacked like this : def resize\_image(img, size) size = size.first if size.is\_a?(Array) && size.length == 1 && !size.first.is\_a?(Fixnum) if size.is\_a?(Fixnum) || (size.is\_a?(Array) && size.first.is\_a?(Fixnum)) size = [size, size] if size.is\_a?(Fixnum) img.crop\_resized!(\*size) else img.change\_geometry(size.to\_s) { |cols, rows, image| image.crop\_resized!(cols, rows) } end self.temp\_path = write\_to\_temp\_file(img.to\_blob) end i get everything working as expected on my local machine, that is to say, even if a have a 300x200 image, i get a 580x400 panorama\_cropped image as set up in the model. putting it the server, if the image fits in a 580x400 sizes, nothin is done for this panorama\_cropped setup, and i just get the original format for this, as from the above would be 300x200. i might have to do with the way the environnement has been set, but I just can’t figure out exactly from here it could come. thanks a lot for any help about it. ---

I ran into a similar problem with imagescience - it doesn’t seem to obey the “!” convention in rmagick geometry strings. However, if you just pass an array as the dimensions, it has the same effect: :thumb =\> [580, 400] Are you sure your server is using rmagick? If you didn’t set it up yourself, someone may be chosen to use imagescience instead. ---

The cropping’s fine… wich reading your answer is not that obvious the way it has been set up. what i don’t get is how to have my 300x200 scaling proportionnaly to a 580xsomething px area; i’m looking for having the same height for every images for every thumbnails’ sizes specified, 400 for panorama, 150 for medium, etc… for the moment, if the image is under for example the 580x400 dimensions, it is not processed at all and my @img.public\_filename() and @img.public\_filename(:panorama) are both the same. ---

If I’m not stepping on your thread, this is a similar question I posted two days ago without response: I am running Rmagick and Imagemagick just fine on my Windows XP machine ( thanks Rick ) and all is well in the world. I’ve moved the identical source deck to another machine that appears to have an identical work environment ( pathing to imagemagic ) and the application saves photos just fine, but it doesn’t do the THUMBNAIL thing? The photo is left in its respective subdirectory of / images with the correct name ( photo\_thumb.jpg ) but it has exactly the same weight (size) as when it was processed by Rmagick/ Imagemagick. Could someone venture a guess as to where I might look to explore this mystery? Thank you, Kathleen On Sep 1, 12:59 am, Benjamin B.

I have the same thing on another machine too (fedora), but with this I assume the imagemagick install (wich seemed to work) is just wrong. I just gave up and wil try to reinstall it. For the moment i’m looking for having a :resize\_to working, wich is broke for some reasons. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid wrote: > If I’m not stepping on your thread, this is a similar question I > posted two days ago without response: > > I am running Rmagick and Imagemagick just fine on my Windows XP > machine ( thanks Rick ) and all is well in the world. > I’ve moved the identical source deck to another machine that appears > to have an identical work environment ( pathing to imagemagic ) and > the application saves photos just fine, but it doesn’t do the > THUMBNAIL thing?
